All Right, If This Is His Idea of Peace
might have hold out for a long
time and caused a lot of trouble,
UT the allies were too much
for the nazl master-minders,
first the Russians swarmed
over the plains of Hungary, Eu,
rope's bread basket, and battered
their way past the fortresses of
Budapest and Vienna. Then our
Americans leaped the Rhine und
had strength to spare to turn
south through Bavaria and Wur-
temburg.
Now, following the valley of
the Danube, we and the Russians
are preparing to Join forces and
cut oi i the all-important war
industries of Austria and Czecho
slovakia. The redoubt dream is
being reduced to a nightmare.
IMAGINE Mount Shasta (the
highest, roughest, wildest part
of the Pacific coast) and the rug'
ged, food-barren, industryless area
around its base. Remember that
this district is buried In deep
snow throughout much of the
year. Picture a band of desperate
cutthroats surrounded there,
ringed In by the peace officers of
Oregon and California backed up
by tin U. S. army. ' J r ; !
;Ilow long could they Jast?
Not very long.
This Bavarian redoubt is in the
rough Alps. It has relatively
bo more resources than the coun
try around the base of Mount
Shasta. It is even more deeply
buried in snow through a greater
)mrt of the year.
To be sure, the nnzis are sup
posed to have been burying food
like squirrels for a year or more
mid to have gathered considerable
Mores of arms. But time is long
Jind the life they face will be drab.
The conclusion Is inevitable that
once they are driven back into
their much-touted "redoubt" their
goose will be cooked.
ALL your ' life you've read of
gangsters holing up in the
hills and muttering threats that
if they have to die they'll drag
nil comers down to death with
Ihcm. Seldom Indeed do these
threats materialize. In the vast
majority of cases, these breast
beating, fire-breathing despera
does submit tamely when the of
ficers arrive In force.
It isn't improbable that these
once hollon-whcols nazl? will do
likewise.

; Reports of our casualties are a
trifle confused, with considerable
duplication in the reports. But In
ground action on Oknlawa 1116
Americans have been killed so
far. The ratio of killed Is about
19 Japs for each American.
G' ENERAL-" HODGE says that
the Jap soldiers we've encoun
tered on Okinawa are better
troops, mure. intelligent, more in
dividually self-reliant than any
we've gone against hi the I'a

Refurrring- to proposals for establishment of a Columbia
Valley authority which isn't a Columbia Valley authority
at all but a Department of Interior kingdom blanketing the
entire Pacific Northwest we call attention again to a part
of the statement accredited to Dr. 'Paul J. Raver, liotine
ville Power administrator. Charging that resources of the
Pacific Northwest are "so complex that to. let five or six
bureaus handle it without coordination is not only inefficient
government, it is ineffective government," Dr. Raver con
tinued : "The main requirement is1 setting up of a new
agency responsible not only to Congress but to the people-
an agency with power to control the timing and the plan
ning ot the program and to integrate the budget."
For, too many years the administration's answer to any
problem has been that of setting up a new agency. We have
seen one agency piled upon another, with overlapping duties,
power and authority, producing endless confusion and
muddling. The proposed Columbia Valley authority, pro
posing to coordinate the work and duties of existing fed
eral departments in the affected states, could easily become
another such bureau.
If that were the only danger inherent in the proposed
Columbia Valley authority, we might not be so greatly con
cerned, but there are, in our opinion, other threats, par
ticularly should the organization follow the pattern set
forth in S. -Kit), introduced in the Senate of the United
States by Senator Mitchell of the State of Washington.

there would be set up a National River Basin Development

authorities as may hereafter be created by the Congress.'
ine secretary ol Interior the Hon. Harold L. Ickes, at
present writing would be chairman. And. in addition.
"all members of the advisory council shall be persons who
proless a belief in the feasibility and wisdom of this act."
What a beautiful picture! We permit as representatives
in this organization only people who believe in the "nartv."
We blanket the country with "authorities" each named after
a river and each having delegation of powers which make
them virtual governments within themselves. ' Then we
place the whole structure under the command of the Secre-
tary of Interior.

"Fight the good fight of
faith," Christian faith is an
indispensable asset to overcom
ing the conflicts of life. It
often determines whether we
shall go down in defeat or rise
to triumph. Before writing his
great . masterpiece "The Mes
siah," Handel was so disheart
ened by his tragic experiences
that he almost despaired. He
had lost his health, his right
side was paralyzed, his money
was gone: and his creditors
seized and threatened to Im
prison him. For a brief time
he was tempted to give up the
fight. But faith prevailed and
he composed his greatest work.
"The Hallelujah Chorus." The
world is a place for growing
souls and all great personali
ties with faith emerge victor
ious from the conflict. Jesus
said, "In the world ye shall
have tribulation, but be or good
cheer I have overcome the
world." and again John re
minds us, "This is the victory
that overcome! h the world,
even our faith. I have fought
a good fight. I have finished
my course. I have kept the
faith."- Amen.

Time drags when you're recovering from wounds in a hospital. You can't
wait to get on your feet. Thousands of young veterans will tell you this.
The little extras belp a lot They build morale, show that the home
folks haven't forgotten they make the time hurry. Just things like
cards, radios, phone calls home. They're important too, along with the
necessities and fine care which the government supplies.
Funds from waste paper sales can provide these comforts. Or they can
help other worthy community projects.
And the paper itself goes to speed Vic

and urge your local collection agencies
to devote at least a part of the waste
paper money in your srmmunity to the
nearest Veterans Hospital. This news
